Bahrain has about $25 billion in debt instruments due to mature by 2030, according to a Kamco Invest report, as the Gulf faces more than $508 billion in total maturities over the same stretch.
Kamco’s December review of Gulf fixed-income markets places Bahrain with Kuwait and Oman in a mid-sized bracket for maturities between 2026 and 2030.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar account for the largest share of debt coming due across the region, the report said.
Across the Gulf Cooperation Council, sovereign debt maturing over the next five years totals about $244.8 billion, against $263.3 billion from corporate issuers.

That lifts overall Gulf maturities to more than $508 billion through 2030.
Most of the amount due is in US dollars. The report put the dollar share at 64.7 per cent, with the rest spread across local currencies.
It said most Gulf debt coming due sits in higher investment-grade ratings, led by A-rated instruments valued at $208.7 billion. Total investment-grade maturities now stand at $239.1 billion.
